Commissioners award $2.54 million Dutch Lake reconstruction contract to Alexander Excavation
Summary
The Fremont County Board approved a notice of award for the Dutch Lake reconstruction project to Alexander Excavation at a contract amount of $2,538,854.50 following a bid opening; transportation staff said bids were competitive and the board approved the award by voice vote.
The Fremont County Board of Commissioners approved a notice of award for the Dutch Lake reconstruction project to Alexander Excavation Contracting, recording a contract price of $2,538,854.50.
Transportation staff, identified in the record as station director Billy Mek and Casey Jones, reported that bids for the project were favorable; a staff speaker described the winning bid as “roughly a million under” another reference benchmark, and commissioners approved the notice of award and contract price by motion and voice vote.
Commissioners also referenced recent concerns about accounting on a separate $6 million solid‑waste project and advised vigilance on project accounting for large infrastructure contracts. The transportation office said the Dutch Lake award will proceed with Alexander Excavation as the apparent low bidder and the contract amount was read into the record during the meeting.
Next step: staff will finalize the contract documents and proceed with award administration; the transcript did not record a roll‑call vote or contract start date.
Provenance: Bid opening and contract award discussion (transcript segments beginning SEG 179 continuing through SEG 247).
